Create requirement trackers and a defect tracker

To establish the workflow between TeamForge and TestLink, you must first create requirement tracker artifacts and a defect tracker in TeamForge.

You can create as many requirement trackers and artifacts as you want for a TeamForge project. This includes artifacts such as epics, stories, tasks and so on. However, you must create only one defect tracker for a project, because for every single instance of a failed test case in TestLink, a corresponding defect artifact is created in TeamForge automatically under this single defect tracker.

Important: When a test case fails, a defect tracker artifact (failure notification) is created in the TeamForge defect tracker of a project. When the same test case fails again, either a new defect tracker artifact is created or the existing one is updated, depending on specific scenarios. For more information, see Associate test suite and defects (Automatic).
